Holidays in Anjuna – Visit the colourful Anjuna Flea Market
The beach at Anjuna is beautiful – a long uninterrupted stretch of white sand, backed by swaying palm trees. A rocky headland towards the south of the beach ensures that the swimming conditions in this part of the Arabian Sea are safe, and there is a good choice of places to eat and drink, with locals selling fresh fruit such as coconuts, pineapples and watermelons along the beach. The famous Anjuna flea market is held every Wednesday, and originated in the ‘60’s, when the visiting hippies began to sell off their possessions to fund their stay. Now a must-see tourist attraction, the colourful market at Anjuna sells everything from books, music, clothing and jewellery to local, Kahmiri and Tibetan handicrafts.
